Looking at other comments I will point out one thing nobody mentioned so far: keeping an old per alive is not always cheap.
You have to calculate the cruel numbers against the gain or loss also.
You could give an other neglected - abandoned pet a new life, instead of making your loved one to slowly expire.
Or I do not wish the situation on anyone, but pet meds vs human food can come into play too.

Every time you go to the vet it’s a few hundred dollars. Before you know it you’re in $2-3k and trying to do iv fluids at home on an 18 year old cat.
